Hi from my own experiances i think it possibly is the alternator not charging.if you have a multimeter set it to dc volts and connect to the battery(+ to red and black to -) and when the engine is running see what volts are reading.it should say between 13.6-14.4 ish.i think the battery is in the boot so you mite need someone else to help you.if you cant do this just go to any garage as they know how to do this.
